VIEWING GAME FORUM THREAD: Explaining a ddos attack
REPLY: (by Saru) Jan 6 2016 8:08am
Alright, as some people are confused about what a ddos attack is and such, I'll explain. It's pretty much the hacker attempting to overload pinto with login attempts to put it shortly. Pinto shuts down to protect itself from these. It's not a data leak or the hacker trying to get more info. The hacker cannot get any more info then he already has.
To explain to those unfamiliar with computer slang. The servers are like turtles. The turtles allow some animals to ride on there back. However, suddenly there are hundreds upon hundreds of animals wanting a ride. The turtle goes back into its shell until the amount of animals trying to ride has returned to normal.
So pretty much your paymeant info is safe if your passwords are different, your passwords should be safe if you have changed them since the initial hack, and people need to breath. Pintos data is fine.:)
